Thread Name: Obit: Actor Robert Culp, age 79
Subject: RE: Obit: Actor Robert Culp, age 79
I loved Culp. A good actor who played well in slightly off-center characters, I think his role in a Raquel Welch vehicle named "Hannie Caulder" was typical of his parts. A scientific gunfighter who wears glasses and passes out philosophy and fast draw/killing instruction in equal measure. The three villains in that one are equally fine with Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam, and Strother Martin, as three vicious and idiot brothers.

Robert Culp gave us some fine TV roles with his last as the fatther in law on "Everybody Loves Raymond."

He was also a good friend of Hugh Hefner and that couldn't have been all bad!
